Afternoon, Togo. Bit later than usual as i've been expecting more non-runners to be announced on account of the high winds, etc. The big race apart, most of the 'interesting' action is taking place up at York where, naturally, the going has changed to soft. So i've chosen 4 that will (hopefully) appreciate the underfoot conditions. You will no doubt notice that they all begin with the letter 'A'. Believe it or not, this is pure coincidence - the first 3 have achieved their best rating on soft going while the 4th has done so on GS.
2.05; Aasheq @ 22/1 (20s for extra place)
3.15; Al Qahwa @ 7/1 (15/2)
3.50; Archies Lad @ 8/1
5.00; Alfredo @ 8/1
20p Lucky 15, £1 e.w. acca; 4 placed = £148, 4 winners = £18,316
As for the Ces, i was going to do 2 each way but when going for my first choice, i noticed that 365 are pying 6 places, then 7 at reduced odds. So i've stuck with Couer De Lion and split my fiver thus;
£1.50 e.w. @ 66/1 = £26.25 for a place (6), £126.75 for a win
£1 e.w. @ 50/1 = £13.50 for a place (7), £64.50 for a win.
Good luck, Togo - i'll have a peek at the football thread :-)
